Launches multi-day Twitter campaign against critic Jonah Goldberg and National Review

After National Review's Jonah Goldberg mocked Trump's Twitter habits, Trump responded with a sustained, escalating series of tweets over roughly six days attacking Goldberg personally and disparaging the magazine. He called Goldberg "truly dumb as a rock" and a "stupid guy" and "a total loser," and repeatedly derided National Review as "failing," "badly failing," "dead," and "irrelevant," urging it to "Get some real talent or fold!" Commentators, including Adweek's media column, characterized the exchange as Trump attempting to get a journalist fired for criticizing him. The episode fits a documented pattern of disproportionate, personal retaliation against media figures who criticize him.

"Jonah Goldberg @JonahNRO of the once great @NRO #National Review is truly dumb as a rock. Why does @BretBaier put this dummy on his show?" Quote verified against source
